David, I do not think you will need a slider hitch. I used Reese in the past and this time I went with a B&W hitch. They make a 16K version of the companion you might want to look at.

Good prices here. http://tweetys.com/bandwcompanionfifthwheelhitch.aspx

I would recommend the Mor/ryde rubber pin. Make sure it has a #4 rubber block in it. It will probably come with a #5 and will be too stiff for your trailer weight.

The B & W 16K non-slider Patriot is the one I changed to. Having no problems with it on my short bed Ram. Purchased from Tweetys.com for $399 and was delivered the next day at standard shipping rate. I also have and recommend the MorRyde pin box.
